If you do a Web search on the phrase "explosions in the sky," what you're likely to come up with are Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Vietnam, fireballs, space debris. And a band from Austin, Texas. The sophomore effort from this band of emo-style prog-rockers, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever was released in September 2001--and the cover art features the prescient words, "This plane will crash tomorrow." Intense, instrumental music infused with fatalistic affect, this is a requiem for a planet. Expressionist, it recalls a simmering Texas landscape placid for days, suddenly punctuated by a punishing electrical storm. Playing like a symphony in six movements, the album is composed entirely of bass, guitar, and drums. A moody but gorgeous album infused with youthful sincerity, it is cinematic in scope with soothing soundscapes of atmospheric, ambient, and shimmering chimes interspersed with crashing interludes of heavy metal-style guitar explosions and drums with intricate time signatures. File under post-rock . . . or modern composition. --Jillian Steinberger
Album Description
Opening October 15th nationwide, Friday Night Lights (a Universal picture starring Billy Bob Thornton and Tim McGraw, based on the best-selling book of the same name) features an original score by Temporary Residence top-seller Explosions In The Sky!
The film chronicles the entire 1988 season of a high school football team from Odessa, TX (adjacent to Explosions In The Sky's hometown of Midland, TX). It focuses on the ongoing financial and emotional struggles of a small town that places all of its hopes on the team's chances at winning the state championship.
The Universal soundtrack - scheduled for release October 5 - includes Explosions In The Sky's score, as well as a new Faith Hill/Tim McGraw duet and a new track by No Doubt's Gwen Stefani. Universal estimates the soundtrack will top one million copies sold by Christmas 2004. It is expected to debut in Billboard's Top 10.
"Have You Passed Through This Night," from Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die... is featured in the film's trailer, which began airing in theaters nationwide June 11. The trailer began airing on national television during the Olympic Games.

God be with us.......2007-04-27
'Explosions'' best album. A tale of morality, brought out by the theme of death (as is evident from the album's title), resulting in an absolutely pristine, contemplative, dichotomous masterpiece of emotion. The band's philosophy is in full force here -- before, nor after, have they got their message across with such poignance or thought. On a strictly emotional level, the album is unfaulted, but to truly grasp the truth behind it one must use their creative powers of abstract thought, for while the music is, on an aesthetic plane, gorgeous, ultimately it is the symbolic power that makes it so powerful.
Desperately romantic is a fine way to put it. Poetic. Transcending pretense. For sure, this sort of romantic vision 'Explosions' possess is not for everyone (at least, they tell themselves this); an example of such potential dissuasion? Track four begins with an overlapping of subtle 'Explosions' material and verses from what happens to be my very favorite film within, well, the medium of film itself.
"Who's doing this? Who's killing us? Robbing us of light and life; mocking us with the side of what we might have known."
The last sentence of that quote, for myself, at this point in my existence, marks the most intimate verse I've ever felt. The absolutely tragic pool the words sulk in ultimately lead to the duality behind both the redemptive spirituality and inspiring, hope-ridden Humanism that lovingly transpires. 'Those Who Tell the Truth...' conveys this via music.
Some might deem the thought this album is truly enlightening preposterous, and, over time and meditation, I've come to the realization that until one has accepted the true will of each individual, along with their inherent freedom of choice and belief, impossibility bares itself in the attempt to fully grasp the divinity this album oft-evokes and, at the very least, so admirably attempts to capture through music and spirit. For me, it's difficult to feel anything but reverence for the band and this gift they've generously given us.
Am I a delusional dreamer? Are they? Is it a pathological condition of bogus idealism in the midst of our mortal existence? Certainly possible, but then again, whether the illusion is the divine truth will never truly be known -- thus, the true power, I find, comes from our utilization of will to its limits, creating and believing such things. God -- the infinite -- exists if you believe it to be so. There is objective truth, as our rational minds teach us every day, but the ultimate, existential answer of life will never be truly known to us -- therein, subjectivity becomes the foreground to absolutely unanswerable questions.
I hold this album close, as its convictions match mine so dearly, even if my particular Life, at this point in time, fails so very often in truly acting on such ideals (I'm 23 -- those enchanting hormones!). I hope, however, in my heart of hearts, that many of you will find the same vein of communion when listening to it, even if only a little bit. Inevitably, that slight communion will grow truer and truer with future listens, or, put more simply, with time itself.
In short, 'Those Who Tell the Truth' enraptures and inspires the spirit, if you let it, though I try my hardest to understand and respect those who find little fulfillment with it... To each his own.
Eh? I Feel I'm Missing Something..........2007-01-10
I really don't understand the massive acclaim this album receives. I would go as far to say it's...boring!!!
GAH strike me down, (and I'm sure this little review will be...) but I find this album way too monotonous to be interesting. This review may come across as scathing, but don't get me wrong, I think this is decent (hence 3 stars), but I will explain why I don't understand the mass of 5 star reviews.
I am not an expert on post-rock, but I do very much enjoy a selection of bands from it. The best, and probably most obvious choice, being the mighty Godspeed You! Black Emperor, who always manage to create epic, sprawling pieces with monumental climaxes. Bands like Mogwai, Silver Mt. Zion and Fly Pan Am also very much interest me, but this album just doesn't come close.
After giving it repeated listens, and really wanting to like it, I cannot fool myself. My biggest disappointment was the lack of climaxes in songs, not one song here takes me to that 'different level' - that disorientating adrenaline rush that the best of this genre can create. The loud rocking sections are just too generic and the band do not build them up enough, shown instantly by "Greet Death" which just thunders in with a barrage of boring guitars and drums after some ambient (what I originally thought was going to be build-up play) noise.
Too often in the quiet sections the guitar motifs are simply boring. I mean, just noodling slowly up and down a scale is atmospheric to a degree, but quite simply DULL. And then all of a sudden the listener is hit with massive noise, again highlighted in "Yasmin The Light" which farts around for a couple of minutes, then all of a sudden the band just crash out a fast-tempo section with no notable riff or motif, just lots and lots of drums.
And this is another problem for me, the drumming. This guy must be in a marching band, because he ALWAYS opts for the drum roll march build-up, which is frankly repetitive and unoriginal.
The only song that I really enjoyed here, and can easily listen to again is "Have You Passed Through This Night?", with its brooding spoken-word intro which leads to a crushing finale. This song is how the band SHOULD be doing it, creating atmosphere - building - climax, instead of noodling around and then banging the life out of everything.
Disappointing album for me, showing potential to be great, but just never quite reaching it.
A cure for "Modern Rock".......2006-10-31
I had a good feeling about this disc after hearing a few previews here at amazon. I wasn't disappointed. The songs are dynamic, emotional, well arranged, well mixed, and to put it simply, awesome. One of the best discs I've listened to this year.
to this cd i give my undisputed respect.......2006-10-06
I have been into explosions in the sky for a few years now and they are highly influential towards me and my fellow band members writing. This album I find as being their most experimental (apart from "the rescue" which isn't a million miles off impossible to get your hands on an actual copy of, other than it is free to download off their site). This album is my favourite alongside with "the earth is not a cold dead place", every song on this record is extremely well written and timed. The song "have you passed through this night?" is the only song they have recorded with vocals in and is extremely well placed dead on in the centre of the album. The classic formula of a progressive build up to a wall of noise finally isn't done better by any other band, songs like "a poor mans memory" back my point up undoubtedly. By listening to this album you can see how it takes them so long to write and record each track/album (sometimes taking up to six months to just write one track) they are composed perfectly and beautifully. Through my eyes what ever emotion you are feeling before you play this record is only added to by the masterpieces of the songs, sadness, bliss, ecstatic ness, despair etc. this bands ability to fuel emotions and thought patterns is quite astounding, I think that every song has a personal effect to everyone who listens to it. The album artwork is sweet and has a good use of line, textures and tone. Ever person I have recommended this band two has come back to me and expressed nothing but glee towards their listening experience. And so I say two you don't show hesitation towards purchasing this album.
Perfect.......2006-09-14
I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this album. Granted EitS is my favorite band, and I'm biased, but this is truly awe-inspiring music. Yes, its repetitive, but therein lies its appeal. The soul of the music lies in the margins, between the notes, and in the small variations.
If you dont already own "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place," I would recommend starting there, as it is the band's masterpiece. If you've already heard and loved that one, this record is the next logical step.

Unimpressed.......2007-07-02
Picked up the cd cuz I saw the video for Sun Shower on his other album and liked it. Kinda went off these reviews when I made the purchase, crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Not one good track on the cd - his voice started to really get on my nerves as well (like lenny kravitz doing busta rhymes). First time I've bought a CD without hearing it first hand - do yourselves a favour and make sure you hear a few tracks before buying this one.
Not Your Typical Mainstream Rap.......2006-06-22
Now, don't let the review title fool you - Busdriver, born Regan Farquhar, is anything but mainstream and you most likely will not find his CD at major retailers. But with the raw talent, speed, and lyricism displayed on this album, one can only speculate why the mainstream hasn't discovered him yet. Perhaps it's because he isn't content with the generic topics of sex, cars, money, and women, the rapping of which will almost guarantee you entrance into the unholy realm of mainstream hip-hop. Though it may get you easy money, you will lose credibility with real fans and instead become the favorite artist of confused teenage girls who hum your songs during class and think you're the greatest thing that ever happened to music. No, Busdriver is not like that. His lyrics are somewhat thought-provoking and quite tongue-twisting (as he often speeds his rhymes up past the understandable limit), leaving the listener amazed as the album comes to a close. In the world of hip hop, Busdriver is definitely above-average in both the mainstream world and the underground scene.
The best part of this album is his ability to easily spit out rhymes that speed way past the norm - even faster than the supposed "Fastest Rapper In The World", Twista. If you thought Twista was fast, then you'll still be blown away by Busdriver's skills. Better yet, his lyrics are infinitely more interesting than Twista's or any other related rapper, for that matter. One stand-out track is "Imaginary Places" (also featured on Tony Hawk's Underground) in which Busdriver weaves together a strange anecdote of metaphorical phrases and messages telling the listener to piss of their parents. Some may find this rather juvenile, but in reality, it's quite the opposite; only the most mature of artists could write lyrics of such abstractness. Something else that struck me was the absence of curse words - sure, they're definitely there sometimes, but not in abundance like most rap artists, and it makes Busdriver much more listenable in that he isn't cussing just for the sake of cussing as many artists do. He also has a strange abstractness about his flow that makes it hard to predict what he'll do next; will he start rapping along with the melody, or will he slow down? You can only speculate as the album flows on. Some of the track don't even feature Busdriver at all, but instead audio clips of buses and real busdrivers with beats going in the background, as well as freestyle called "Stylin' Under Pressure" which was recorded at a fast-food restaurant.
Bottom line: if you're disgruntled with the direction that mainstream rap is headed these days, then pick up this album and let yourself be instilled with a small bit of hope that they are still talented rappers somewhere out there. From start to finish, this album is a winner among rap fans and even people who despise rap, merely because it doesn't follow any pre-conceived formula and refuses to conform to the generic stylings of mainstream rap. The only reason this album received four stars is because it can get old after too many listens, once you've figured out the songs and the randomness isn't so random anymore. Other than that, this is definitely a keeper.
9/10
neo-jazzcore hip hop.......2006-03-18
busdriver is an insanely talented man. he reminds me a bit of mike patton in terms of voice, but his roots are clearly in jazz and hip hop. he raps with kind of a bizarre rhythm and vocabulary. his voice is not hip hop in the traditional sense but he has a definite sense of timing and makes his offbeat delivery work to his advantage. his subject matter is equally bizarre and appealing, just look at his song titles " post apocalyptic rap blues","single cell ego"? hes clearly not living in the same hiphop universe as most of his comtemporaries, not even in the underground. he does take on things like style copycats(along came a biter) and also takes a firmly anti gun stance as well as a harsh social commentart on the track "gun control"
if you dig deltron, aesop rock, or anticon, give this a listen. you might like it.
This CD is the best.......2004-10-01
This is the best ever but it does have some bad good for kids 12 and over
Great Underground Album...Point Blank.......2004-06-20
(insert the title here.)
Underground, LA MC- Busdriver really has put together a great album.
His lyrics come at you with a furry - speeding up and slowing down like a battle rapper or spoken word artist.
The beats are really good. A lot of jazz samples - flutes, saxes, oboes (yes, oboes), etc. It sounds like a masterpiece of instruments and beats.
Also, DJ- D-Styles does a great job of scratching it up on this one.
Busdriver is a very entertaining lyricist, but don't expect an education from his lyrics. He is entertaining, not educational. (Not an insult, just the truth.)
Also, his collaboration with 2Mex on the track "Truth of Spontaneous Human Combustion" was spectacular. I wish that he was one more than 1 verse on the album.
(But if you like 2Mex and Busdriver, than check out 2Mex's album - SWEAT LODGE INFINITE. Busdriver is all over it.)
Finally, the cool artwork is done by the famous graffiti artist - Mear One, who has also done artwork for DJ Hive, Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Rude, Limp Bizkit (:( ), etc.

The Carburators- Fast Forward Rock And Roll.......2006-04-30
Norwegian hard rockers Carburators on a mission. Crank up the volume and blow your speakers with Fast Forward Rock and Roll from the land of the Vikings. This record is a must for the fans of Turbonegro, Gluecifer, Hellecopters and simular Scandinavian rock bands.
Oslo based the Carburators, "loaded with more attitude and attitude and loud guitars than you've ever heard." From the moment the V8 engine starts roaring out the speakers and the tune "Burning Rubber" hits you smack in the face, you will have your feet stomping the floor. If not, go see a doctor, you're probably dead.... This is no love making, romantic song record, but hard core testosterone rock made for the beer and bourbon drinking party animals. Going 200 Mph down the "Highway of Rock'N'Roll" Looking for a ballad? You won't find it here. The Carburators is one of the most popular live bands in Norway. If you ever get the chance, go see them,they will blow you away!! Until then enjoy the record- Pain is temporary-Glory is forever!
